US performed of the right renal bed shows no kidney and an elongated flat adrenal gland (pancake adrenal). Right pelvic kidney in the same patient.
Case Discussion
Ultrasound shows a flattened, elongated right adrenal gland in the context of a pelvic right kidney. The normal Y-shaped configuration of the adrenal gland does not develop as it would when molding over a normally sited kidney.
